VProm 3.0

Introducing VPROM 3.0 – The Ultimate Drum Machine Plugin!
VPROM was first released in 2014 as a groundbreaking software plugin that faithfully emulated the internal circuitry and filtering of one of the most iconic drum machines of the early ‘80s. This legendary device revolutionized music production by being the first to incorporate real drum samples, setting a new industry standard and shaping the sound of an era.

Early sample-based drum machines relied on recorded acoustic drum sounds, captured with minimal processing and no anti-aliasing. The result? A raw, punchy, and unmistakable sound that cut through mixes like no other. The vintage drum machine that inspired VPROM remains a revered piece of music history, known for its distinct sonic character—something that simple sample-based reproductions fail to capture. With a dedicated DAC and clock per voice, plus unique analog filtering, this rare instrument (with only 500 units ever made) continues to be sought after by producers worldwide. Used by industry legends such as Prince, Phil Collins, The Thompson Twins, Stevie Wonder, Gary Numan, Depeche Mode, The Human League, Jean-Michel Jarre, Vangelis, John Carpenter, Todd Rundgren, and The Art of Noise, this drum machine left an undeniable mark on music history. As a musician myself, I understand the high standards that artists expect. Since no accurate VST version of this classic existed, I set out to create VPROM.
